Can’t Get Enough of… Tortoise Shell

 

I was recently looking at this picture of  Michelle Adam’s (founder of Rubie Green) living room and couldn’t stop admiring her tortoise shell lamp.  Isn’t it tres chic?  Here at my desk I have a glass tortoiseshell pencil cup and it is one of those small purchases that always makes me happy.  For your viewing pleasure I’ve rounded up some more chic tortoise accessories on the market today:
